Shiva Purana — Vayaviya Samhita, Shloka 67
मन्त्रसिद्ध्यर्थं गुरुपूजा–आज्ञा–पौरश्चर्यविधिः / Guru-Authorization, Offerings, and Puraścaraṇa for Mantra-Siddhi
न लग्नतिथिनक्षत्रवारयोगादयः प्रिये । अस्यात्यंतमवेक्ष्याः स्युर्नैष सप्तस्सदोदितः । न कदाचिन्न कस्यापि रिपुरेष महामनुः । सुसिद्धो वापि सिद्धो वा साध्यो वापि भविष्यति
na lagnatithinakṣatravārayogādayaḥ priye | asyātyaṃtamavekṣyāḥ syurnaiṣa saptassadoditaḥ | na kadācinna kasyāpi ripureṣa mahāmanuḥ | susiddho vāpi siddho vā sādhyo vāpi bhaviṣyati
Wahai kekasih, dalam hal ini tidak perlu meneliti lagna, tithi, nakshatra, hari, yoga dan seumpamanya; mantra agung ini sama sekali tidak terikat oleh tujuh pertimbangan itu pada setiap masa. Ia tidak pernah menjadi musuh sesiapa pun, pada bila-bila masa. Sama ada telah sempurna, telah berhasil, atau masih perlu dicapai, ia pasti membawa kejayaan.

FAQs
It teaches that Shiva’s mantra-power operates by the Lord’s grace (Pati) rather than by worldly constraints; sincere japa is never obstructed by astrological calculations and inevitably leads toward siddhi and liberation.
It supports Saguna Shiva worship through accessible daily practice: one may worship the Shiva-linga and perform mantra-japa without waiting for “perfect” timings, trusting that Shiva accepts devotion at all times.
Regular mantra-japa (especially the Shaiva great mantra such as the Panchakshara) done with steadiness and devotion—optionally alongside linga-puja with bhasma (tripundra) and rudraksha—without anxiety about auspicious dates.
